Just like overlooking the world from the sky, clearing away the clouds, the scene of the characters gradually becomes clear from the obscurity. First of all, the theme is played by the violin, with two long and two short lyrics and an ending sentence, which is long and weak, as if Zhu Yingtai were telling the past beside him. Then repeat the theme in the bass and return to earth.

The orchestra always plays the theme and fully understands it on the spot. Liang Shanbo, the representative of cello, also appeared. The two of them were affectionate, playing the big violin and singing the theme song.
